Will a TCM practitioner be allowed to call his practice a “TCM Hospital”?
The Healthcare Services Act 2020 (HCSA) FAQs, Naming Restriction
Yes, TCM practitioners and other non-licensees may use single words, e.g. “clinic” as it is not a misrepresentation of licensed services nor is it misleading.
Some TCM clinics are also grandfathered to use the Chinese term for “hospital” in their names (e.g., 同济医院)
However, they will not be allowed to use the terms/names of licensed healthcare services e.g., medical clinics or acute hospital, unless approved by the Director
